Sign on bonus and relocation is being offered! Please email Matthew.Richardson@providence.org for more information.

How do you define your work in the Operating Room? The Operating Room at Providence Alaska offers a much different definition than the traditional meaning. It’s a place where passionate nurses come together on a daily basis to enhance the quality of life for someone, or more importantly, save someone’s life. With over 1,000 cases per month, you will become an expert in all things OR. You will be given a voice in an environment that fosters open communication and learning. The days of being pigeon-holed in just one Operating Room providing one service line are behind you. Rather you will get to choose between 18 different Operating Rooms and focus on specialty areas of your choice. With state of the art equipment to include the new XI robot and hybrid room for minimally invasive procedures, we offer an environment unmatched by any other in the region.

Effectively advocate for ethical and holistic care to promote the autonomy, dignity, rights, values and beliefs of those we serve.

Foster a learning environment for patient/families, nursing, and other members of the healthcare team including students.

Align practice with safety and quality. Be accountable for safety, identify and correct problems.
